hunters

well you have to admire them - the pro hunt brigade were out in force at the weekend.
their target was peter hain (labour's leader of the house and secretary of state for wales). the pro hunters gathered outside his house and for a time prevented him from leaving to go to the labour party conference.
now a couple of things here - if unions do that sort of thing they are considered to be a mob, a rabble and are more than likely photographed by the police and then filed as likely future trouble makers. if football fans did that sort of thing there would be an outrage.
but a bunch of toffs and toff lovers do it then it is ok.

they should be banged up inside.
the worst of it is that they are the sort of people who think democracy begins and end with them and that no one else really should have a say.

i don't mind them hunting - i hate them because they think that they are above the law, and above democracy and parliament itself.

the only surprise about the pro hunt thing outside hain's house was that there were no socialist worker party (swp) banner's there - unusual as they normally join any protest and pretty much any angry gathering over 4 people.
